created by the unemployed persons who
frequent Trafalgar Square still continue.
In addition to those arrested Yesterday SIX
other men have been taken into custody.
The police are preventing any demonstra
ton being made, and are scattering the
mob. A number of Isolated tights have
occurred, Several of the rioters who were
arrested Yesterday have been imprisoned.
A number of unemployed workingmen
also met In HYDE Park today for the pur-
pose of making demonstration. A squad
OF mounted police rode among the crowd
and collision occurred. The mob, after
a serious conflict. drove the police back.
The opening of the Liberal campaign of
Nottingham, today, was great affair.
Mr.. Gladstone said he would tell them
plainly that he was not there to say smooth
things. 1t was deplorable fact that the
settling of the great Irish question, which
might have been settled last year. had there
been q disposition to discuss 1t In spirit
of candor and fairness. had been again set
aside and was still pending, its difficulties
aggravated and Its prospects uncertain He
had always told the conservatives that the
choice lay between coercion and home
rule. The conservatives had told them
that home rule was an idle dream, but
events had shown that 1t was not. A CO

The immediate necessity of the day was to
watch the way In which Ireland was now
governed. If the government persisted In
their rssh and foolish policy, 1t would
naturally lead to political decentralization

even for Englishmen and parliament
truely representing their best and most en-

and beneficially with Ireland. Only one
word could describe the present system Of
Irish government. 1t was ''impertineDce.
